Surely "Hey Little Girl" sounds more like Roxy Music.

Bauhaus - "All We Ever Wanted" (out of many candidates from the same tree)

Sweet-"The Six-Teens"

― Picnics and Pixie Stix (Charles McCain), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

Surprisingly, the Starlight Mints - "Black Cat"

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

Blur - "Look Inside America"

Sounds more like the typical Kinks/XTC influenced Blur number to me.

Famously, Blur's Bugman was practically a song David Bowie DID write (although it wasn't really, because Bowie never got a guitar sound like that and didn't stick three-minute space-is-the-place-boogie-spaz-outs at the end of his songs).

Roxy Music's "Manifesto" (the song)

― nerve pylon (flat_of_angles), Thursday, 17 August 2006 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

How could I (and everybody else) forget:
Babylon Zoo: Spaceman.

Also even though "Common People" is OTM, I would say the Bowie influence comes through even more in "Lipgloss".

And "Bugman" sounds more like The Stooges anyway.
